SIFI has established a way to reach out to its more than 600 scholars without compromising their health and safety. During the month of November 2020, a total of 22 ZOOM online sessions were conducted with 620 SIFI scholars in attendance— mostly coming from Visayas, Luzon and Mindanao.
Topics online focused on Mental Health Wellness for the “New Normal”; Coping with the Challenges of Online Learning; Seven Habits of Highly Effective Students; Media Literacy and Social Media Management, Disaster Awareness: Resilience; Youth in this time of Pandemic and Beyond; and Online Entrepreneurship—Principles, Skills and Best Practices.
The webinars on Zoom were facilitated by SIFI Training Officer Angelica Hebionada who searched for new techniques on how to stay in touch with the scholars and continue to train and develop their skills through today’s new normal. In the absence of face-to-face learning, the scholars are taught to be creative in accomplishing their deadlines for school deliverables.
Today, SIFI through its education pillar strives to educate the youth who are stuck at home due to the pandemic, motivate and inspire them to continue being creative and dynamic while remaining safe, healthy and protected.
